  1. Good start. I like this topic and think it will work well for this audience. Good introduction of the blog, as well. A few things to work on: First, be sure to give credit to the image you included. Also, when you have an online source you refer to in your blog, create a hyperlink to it right in the text, rather than listing the URL at the bottom of the page (or perhaps in addition to that). And if you have an author, definitely include that as part of your attribution. In general, keep the paragraphs short--this should be similar to the news stories we did at the start of the semester with just one to three sentences per paragraphs. Remember to enclose article titles in quotation marks within your story, as well.

  2. Olivia! I enjoyed reading your post. Social media influencers are so common and it is such a huge part of our culture. I found it fascinating that influencers may have both a positive and negative effect on younger kids. I am most likely going to be getting a job in the social media industry after I am out of school, so it is interesting to see your perspective on how social media affects younger kids. I think it also depends on who younger kids are following these days. That could leave a huge impact positively or negatively. I wanted to leave you with a suggestion! I feel like your middle paragraph could have been spilt into two separate paragraphs. It might be easier on the audience to read and stay focused.
